Baekhyun Becomes First Korean Artist to Hit Diamond Tier on Weibo ‘Super Topic’

'Super Topic' is a community that operates around artists, works, and specific topics within Weibo and is considered a major indicator of the largest fandom size and activity in China. The rating is updated every Monday, and silver, gold, and diamonds are divided into three levels each, with a total of nine levels. As of the 1st, Baekhyun became the only Korean national artist to reach the first level of individual 'Super Topic' diamond.
This achievement seems to have been largely influenced by Baekhyun's world tour 'Leveri' Macau performance on the 30th and 31st of last month. In fact, the Weibo live broadcast, which took place a day before the performance, drew about 2.19 million viewers, realizing Baekhyun's hot popularity there.
In addition, various concert-related search words continued to be ranked at the top on the day of the performance, and the Hyunjigok covers and challenges presented during the performance spread rapidly on various social media and recorded a line of 1st to 3rd on the popularity of Douyin culture and entertainment charts, the Chinese version of TikTok, proving its explosive popularity.
Baekhyun has held a world tour for the first time in 13 years since his debut, meeting with fans from all over the world, including South America, the United States, Europe, Oceania, and Asia, to write new records. As the Asian schedule begins in earnest, the buzz proven on local SNS proves global fans' expectations for the tour, further raising expectations for future performances.
